Fairbanks school district reviews student discipline policies

FAIRBANKS —The superintendent of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District said it's time to update student discipline policies.

Karen Gaborik said she wants to spend the next year gathering information and discussing options so new policies can be implemented by fall 2019. She doesn’t know what the end result will look like, she said, but she is open to changing the types of infractions that draw discipline and the consequences that are doled out.
